[www.keralites.net] Are Eggs Vegetarian?

Are eggs vegetarian?

Based on the definition of vegetarian as a diet which excludes consumption of animal flesh, technically, yes, eggs are vegetarian, since they are not animal flesh (the meat, muscles or tissue of an animal). Many vegetarians include eggs in their diet, while still abstaining from eating chicken, cows, pigs, fish and all animals. If you're a label or terminology sort of person, you can rest easily knowing that if this is you, you're an "ovo-vegetarian", that is, a vegetarian who eats eggs.

But be careful! In some parts of the world, particularly in India, eggs are indeed considered to be meat, and some vegetarians will not eat them. Usually, this is tied to a religious practice, such as Hinduism. Vegetarian Hindus, and those who have come to vegetarianism from a Hindu background consider eggs to be meat, and do not include them in their vegetarian diet. So, while most Westerners believe that eggs are vegetarian, many Easterners do not; this means that whether or not eggs are vegetarian is really dependent on a cultural agreement.

But eggs come from chickens, how can they be vegetarian?

Good question! Vegetarians avoid eating dead animals, and while eggs are not dead animals, there's some debate as to whether or not vegetarians should avoid eating foods that require killing animals, even if they are still avoiding the animal flesh itself.. For example, caviar eggs are obtained from slicing open fish stomachs and taking the eggs from inside the fish. The eggs themselves are vegetarian, but the animal must die in order to obtain them.

Do chickens have to die to lay eggs? Well, no, not really. But the truth is, they do. Unless you're buying eggs from your next door neighbor and have seen the conditions of their farm, you are supporting industrialized factory farming, which kills millions of chickens while obtaining their eggs each year.
If this is a concern for you, you'll probably want to be fully vegan and avoid milk and dairy products as well as eggs. But not to worry. There's plenty of ways to substitute eggs in cooking and baking, and it can be as simple as buying a commercial egg replacer. And of course, there's plenty of vegan milk replacements and dairy substitutes you can use as well.

What about health concerns?

If you're eating more meatless meals to reduce your fat intake or lower your cholesterol, eating eggs might not be your best bet. The American Heart Association recommends that adults should eat no more than 4 eggs per week, while the Australian Heart Foundation is ok with up to six per week, but if you're trying reduce your fat or cholesterol intake, it's best to eat fewer.
So should I eat eggs if I'm a vegetarian?

The bottom line: The important thing is not whether or not a food item fits within your (or another person's) definition of vegetarian or not, but whether or not you feel that consuming a food is morally justifiable or not. If you're trying to be kind to animals, you may want to explore going vegan. If you're eating vegetarian for your health, you'll likely find that you want to reduce the number of eggs you eating

[www.keralites.net] Bananas For Health

M.d. Hegde

KEEP GOING WITH BANANAS TO HAVE A HEALTHY LIFE

Never, put your banana in the refrigerator!!!
This is interesting.
After reading this,
you'll never look at a banana in the same way again.

Bananas contain three natural sugars - sucrose,
fructose and glucose combined with fiber.
A banana gives an instant, sustained and
substantial boost of energy.

Research has proven that just two bananas provide
enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout.
No wonder the banana is the number one
fruit with the world's leading athletes.

But energy isn't the only way a banana can help us keep fit.
It can also help overcome or prevent a substantial
number of illnesses and conditions, making it a
must to add to our daily diet.

Muscle Cramps
In two Mintues Cramps is gone that power full And amazing Fruit

Depression:
According to a recent survey undertaken by
MIND amongst people suffering from depression,
many felt much better after eating a banana.
This is because bananas contain tryptophan, a
type of protein that the body converts into serotonin,
known to make you relax,
improve your mood and generally make you feel happier.

PMS:
Forget the pills
eat a banana.
The vitamin B6 it contains regulates
blood glucose levels, which can affect your mood.

Anemia :
High in iron, bananas can stimulate the production o
f hemoglobin in the blood and so helps in cases of anemia.

Blood Pressure:
This unique tropical fruit is extremely
high in potassium yet low in salt, making it perfect to beat
blood pressure. So much so, the US Food and
Drug Administration has just allowed the banana
industry to make official claims for the fruit's ability
to reduce the risk of blood pressure and stroke.

Brain Power:
200 students at a Twickenham (Middlesex)
school ( England ) were helped through their
exams this year by eating bananas at breakfast, break,
and lunch in a bid to boost their brain power.
Research has shown that the potassium-
packed fruit can assist learning by making pupils more alert.

Constipation:
High in fiber, including bananas in the diet can help
restore normal bowel action, helping to overcome
the problem without resorting to laxatives.

Hangovers:
One of the quickest ways of curing a hangover is to make
a banana milkshake, sweetened with honey..
The banana calms the stomach and, with the help of the honey,
builds up depleted blood sugar levels, while the milk
soothes and re-hydrates your system.
Heartburn: Bananas have a natural antacid effect in the body,
so if you suffer from heartburn, try eating a banana for soothing relief.

Morning Sickness:
Snacking on bananas between meals helps
to keep blood sugar levels up and avoid morning sickness.

Mosquito bites:
Before reaching for the insect bite cream,
try rubbing the affected area with the inside
of a banana skin. Many people find it amazingly
successful at reducing swelling and irritation.

Nerves:
Bananas are high in B vitamins that help calm the nervous system.

Overweight and at work?
Studies at the Institute of Psychology in
Austria found pressure at work leads to
gorging on comfort food like chocolate and chips.
Looking at 5,000 hospital patients, researchers
found the most obese were more likely to be in high-pressure jobs.
The report concluded that, to avoid panic-induced food cravings,
we need to control our b
lood sugar levels by snacking on high carbohydrate foods
every two hours to keep levels steady.

Ulcers:
The banana is used as the dietary food against intestinal
disorders because of its soft texture and smoothness.
It is the only raw fruit that can be eaten without
distress in over-chronicler cases. It also neutralizes
over-acidity and reduces irritation by coating the lining of the stomach.

Temperature control:
Many other cultures see bananas
as a 'cooling' fruit that can lower both the physical and
emotional temperature of expectant mothers.
In Thailand , for example, pregnant women eat
bananas to ensure their baby is born with a cool temperature.

Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD):
Bananas can help SAD sufferers because
they contain the natural mood Enhancer tryptophan.

Smoking &Tobacco Use:
Bananas can also help people trying to give
up smoking. The B6, B12 they contain,
as well as the potassium and magnesium f
ound in them, help the body recover from
the effects of nicotine with
drawal.

Stress: Potassium is a vital mineral,
which helps normalize the heartbeat,
sends oxygen to the brain and regulates your
body's water balance. When we are stressed,
our metabolic rate rises, thereby reducing our
potassium levels.
These can be rebalanced with the help of a
high-potassium banana snack.

Shine on our shoes
Quick shine on our shoes??
Take the INSIDE of the banana skin, and rub directly
on the shoe...polish with dry cloth.

Strokes:
According to research in The New England
Journal of Medicine,
eating bananas as part of a regular diet can cut
the risk of death by strokes by as much as 40%!

Warts:
Those keen on natural alternatives swear that
if you want to kill off a wart, take a piece of banana skin
and place it on the wart, with the yellow side out.
Carefully hold the skin in place with a plaster or surgical tape!

So, a banana really is a natural remedy for many ills.
When you compare it to an apple, it has four times the protein,
twice the carbohydrate, three times the phosphorus,
five times the vitamin A and iron, and twice the other
vitamins and minerals. It is also rich in potassium
and is one of the best value foods around So maybe
it's time to change that well-known phrase so that we say, '
A banana a day keeps the doctor away!'

[www.keralites.net] Skin Care Solutions

Skin Care Solutions
Glowing and healthy at any age

Countless teenagers dream of acne-free complexions, while 40-year-olds might cringe at the sight of fine lines and wrinkles. The truth is that every age has its own unique set of skin challenges. The key to having a beautiful complexion at any age is to know your skin's characteristics, and choose gentle products suited to your skin's type.

In your teens and 20s
Your skin
Fighting acne may seem like your biggest priority (and no, those in their 20s aren't immune from the annoyance of blemishes). However, what you should really focus on is prevention—of sun damage, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation (uneven complexion and dark spots).
Your game plan
Use a gentle cleanser and a light moisturizer, such as a lotion rather than a cream. For blemishes, use a natural acne-fighting spot treatment gel (available at health food stores) on problem areas. Key ingredients can include tea tree oil or naturally sourced beta hydroxy acids.
Never squeeze pimples, as this can increase the risk of scarring and slow healing time.
Prioritize sun safety. Wear a good quality natural broad-spectrum SPF sunscreen daily, available at natural health retailers. Skip the suntanning, including tanning beds! Choose protective clothing when out in the sun, wear sunglasses, and seek shade when possible.
In your 30s
Your skin
You may notice hyperpigmentation and the appearance of some faint lines. Lack of sleep and stress (due to career demands, children, or other life stressors) may contribute to dull skin and dark eye circles.
Your game plan
Consider adding brightening products to treat hyperpigmentation, exfoliating products to slough off dry skin and fight a dull complexion, and a cooling eye gel to your skin care toolkit.
Natural brightening products that target dark spots range from cleansers to eye creams. They often include ingredients derived from flowers and roots.
When choosing an exfoliator, consider one made from sugar, salt, oatmeal, or jojoba beads. Avoid those made from plastic microbeads—these common ingredients travel down the drain and into waterways, where they pose a danger to the environment. Alternatively, choose a liquid exfoliant that contains natural acids, such as those derived from fruit.
In your 40s
Your skin
The good news: acne is likely a thing of the past. The bad news: this is also the time when our skin's elasticity begins to decrease and collagen loss occurs. Skin often becomes drier as well.
Your game plan
Nourishing is the key word. Support your skin and protect it from the daily elements by using a richer, thicker moisturizer, such as a cream rather than a lotion, and a nightly serum. A weekly nourishing facial masque can also add hydration to the skin.
In your 50s
Your skin
Dry skin and wrinkles become more pronounced in your 50s. Hormonal changes can also change your skin in unexpected ways—after menopause, women's skin produces less oil, which can contribute to more dryness and itchiness.
Your game plan
While there may be no way to reverse wrinkles, there are many natural products formulated to help firm, soften, and hydrate mature skin. Good investments include a high quality facial cream and eye cream.
In your 60s and beyond
Your skin
The layer of fat beneath our skin thins as we age, and bruising can also occur more frequently, due to thinner skin and loss of support around blood vessels in the skin. You may also notice age spots. Also called "liver spots," age spots have nothing to do with the liver. They're pronounced hyperpigmentation caused by years of sun exposure.

However, growing older gracefully means recognizing that your face reflects a life well lived—including all the laughing and smiling you've done—rather than trying to combat every wrinkle. The focus at age 60 and beyond is on protecting your skin, which is thin, delicate, and often sensitive.
Your game plan
Since skin is so delicate, it's best to stop exfoliating and use only unscented, gentle products. While you can't reverse age spots, continue to use a sunscreen and brightening products to prevent further damage.

Best Practices for any age
No matter what your age, follow these essential tips to keep your skin in tip-top shape.
Don't go into product overload
Less is more when it comes to your skin care routine, so when in doubt, use fewer products. Using too many products at one time—especially antiaging products—can be irritating.
Use your ring finger to apply eye cream
Strange, but true! Your ring finger is your weakest finger, and therefore the most gentle on delicate under-eye skin.
Be gentle!
Wash your skin using your fingers; a washcloth, sponge, or brush can irritate sensitive skin. And needless to say, never scrub or pick your skin.
Don't smoke
In addition to the endless list of internal damage smoking can cause, it can also do damage to our skin, making smokers look older. Not only can smoking damage collagen and elastin in the skin, but it can also deplete the skin of oxygen.
Limit stress
Too much stress can exacerbate acne and skin's sensitivity. Try to make time in your day for stress-reducing techniques such as yoga or meditation, journalling, soaking in the tub, playing with your pet, or chatting with a friend—whatever works for you.

Nutrients for skin health
Eating plenty of vitamin C-rich foods—as well as limiting unhealthy fats and junk food—may contribute to healthy-looking skin.
There are also skin supplements available at health food stores that are formulated to help improve skin's appearance.
Ingredients in skin supplements to look for include
gamma-linolenic acid (found in borage oil or evening primrose oil), which may improve the skin barrier and calm sensitive or irritated skin
antioxidants, such as grapeseed extract and lycopene, which are thought to improve skin appearance and boost collagen —

[www.keralites.net] MANGO - Chemical Ripening

M.d. Hegde
Moderator · Just now

Mango - Natural Ripening Vs Chemical Ripening
Most of us prefer to eat mangoes because they are the sweetest mangoes in the whole lot. They are grown organically so they are tasty and healthy as well as expensive.
With people becoming more and more health conscious, the demand for mangoes is increasing with each year and so is the adulteration in the market.
Yellow ripe mangoes attract you to them, but before you buy the whole box of mangoes wait and have a careful look at those mangoes. You never know they can be the ones which are chemically treated. It has been found that the mangoes can be artificially ripened using certain chemicals. The main chemical used to speed up the ripening process is calcium carbide. It is a chemical that is used to produce wielding gas, which is very harmful if consumed. This chemical has been banned under the prevention of food adulteration act and rules. So beware or else you may land up in hospital.
Let us see how we can differentiate between artificially ripened and naturally ripened mangoes
Remember the terrific attractive aroma of a ripe mango? A naturally ripened mango will have a great aroma whereas artificially ripened mango will not have any aroma, in fact it wil lsmell like garlic.
The ripe yellow fine looking mangoes at the fruit vendor are sure to compel you to buy but those handsome looking mangoes are artificially ripened. Naturally ripened mangoes will have uneven green and yellow patches all over it.
These artificially ripened mangoes look finely ripe from outside but the flesh will not be ripe whereas a naturally ripened mango will be uniformly ripe and will have sweet taste all over.
A naturally ripe mango will be juicy but a chemically treated mango won't be juicy and it will be hard.
It has been found that most of the mangoes in the market are chemically treated than naturally ripened.
Naturally Riped Mangoes
Organic mangoes, once ripe and ready, are the most luscious fruit you can bite into.
How to distinguish between organic and chemical treated mangoes ? please watch this video....
